Do you think whatever happened was your fault or other people's fault?
"My opinion of that has changed over the years. I don't know—do kids have culpability?"
Madonna - Give Me All Your Luv (2011) "Maybe you'll do fine as long as you don't lie to me and pretend to be what you're not. Don't play those stupid games 'cause I'm a different kind of girl. Every record sounds the Same. You gotta step into my world."

"Human beings in a mob. What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God? What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything? We'll make it out alive. Alright. Alright. No church in the wild."
